Killer In The Family

In July 1991 Tonya Clayton Green was killed by her husband Gregory Green, she was six months pregnant at the time. Green was convicted for second-degree murder and was sentenced to serve 15 to 25 years in prison. Within 16 years he had been released and sadly, this is not where this story ends.

Green was released in 2008 and by 2010 he had married Faith Green and they went on to have two daughters together. Green was an abusive and controlling husband and in 2016 Faith filed for divorce.

In September 2016 Faith was brutally assaulted by Green who then forced her to witness the murder of her two children – his stepchildren – 19 year old Chadney and 17 year old Kara. Green then killed his own two children – 5 year old Koi and 4 year old Kaleigh. Faith survived the brutal attack.

Green was convicted and sentenced to 45 to 100 years in prison as questions remain on how he was released and allowed to become a two time family annihilator.

This is the story of Tonya Clayton and Faith Green and her children.

In September 1971 in South Australia 40 year old Heather Bartholomew, her seven children – Neville, Christine, Sharon, Helen, Gregory Roger and Sandra - her sister Winnis and her 19 month old son Daniel were all killed by Clifford Bartholomew – Heather’s husband and father of six of the eight children he killed.

Known at the time as the deadliest familicide in Australian history – Bartholomew was arrested and sentenced for the murder of his wife. Although given a life sentence he ended up serving less than 8 years. Once out of prison Bartholomew changed his name, married again and was stepfather to children who were similar ages to his children that he killed. His second family had no idea that he had murdered so many people until he and his wife died.

A horrific family annihilator who was given a second chance by the justice system.

This is the unbelievable story of the Bartholomew Family.

In February 2010, Susan McFall and her 18 year old daughter Francesca Frankie McFall were killed by husband and father Hugh McFall.

Apparently fearing the loss of his business and social and financial failure, McFall beat his wife and daughter to death before taking his own life. He called 999 before he took his own life and police attended the family home very quickly.

Neighbours and family couldn’t believe that McFall did what he did.

This is the story of the McFall family.

In February 2010, 24 year old Stephanie Bellinger and her 10 month old daughter Lili were killed by partner and father of Lili, Anthony Marsh. He claimed that voices in his head told him to kill Stephanie and Lili but others asserted that he was trying to avoid his responsibilities and also had revenge as a motive.

Stephanie and Marsh’s other child - two and half year old boy – was physically unharmed in the attack but left alone by Marsh for over 24 hours.

Despite denying murder on the grounds of diminished responsibility, Marsh was found guilty of the murder of Stephanie and Lili and was sentenced to life imprisonment.

This is the story of Stephanie Bellinger and her daughter Lili.
